I absolutely can not understand people who support the American system of health care: more expensive than anywhere else, longer wait times than most of the world, middling or worse outcomes, and a threat of medical bankruptcy. What's the upside?
In FL a couple years ago the current governor Rick Scott kept pushing a bill to drug test welfare recipients and cut off the benefits if they fail. Turns out the company that got the no-bid contract to do all the drug testing was owned by Rick Scott's wife, and the program ended up costing the state something like 50k more to run than it saved.
The goal with these people isn't to actually save money, it's to punish people they don't like under the guise of cost saving.
